Iowa City, la. Final steps
were taken Monday to emanci
pate State University of Iowa
21 year-old coeds from hours
restrictions.
Details of the long-awaited
program, which goes into ef
fect Feb. 5, were revealed at
meetings Monday night
Those who expect to parti
cipate in the new plan before
April l'must attend one of
several required meetings.
The policy will go into effect
automatically the day a girl
is TL, if she has attended one
of those meetings.
The plan was devised by the
"21 Board" which is com
posed of one member from
each housing unit involved,
under the direction of the As
sociated Women Students-Central
Judiciary Board. The 24
member board has been
working on the program since
October.
Diane Abegg, Rock Island,
111, chairman of the plan for
residence halls, explained
thai a dormitory resident will
sign out in a "21 Book" when
she leaves the hall. She will
present her ID card to a night
cleik to have her student
number checked when she re
turns. If a girl plans to stay away
overnight or leave for a week
end, she will indicate her
destination and the time she
expects to return in the "21
Book."
Miss Abegg said that this
program is s i m i 1 a r to that
used for graduate 6tudents
living in the graduate areas of
the dormitories now, only on
a larger scale.
A sorority member will
check out an assigned key be-

hours without signing out in
the "21 Book."
Only girls living In the hous
ing unit may use the priv
ileged hours. Violations of
these rules will be heard by
the "21 Board" and penalties
determined accordingly.
Cammy Repass, Waterloo,
chairman of Central Judiciary
Board, said that the privileged
hours program has been es
tablished with the belief that
women students 21 years of
age and over are capable of
assuming personal responsi
bility for regulating their own
hours.
"This program is merely a
test, and evaluations will be
made throughout the year so
any necessary changes can be
made before next year," she
said.
Miss Helen Focht, Coun
selor of Women, said of t b e
plan, "We are always pleased
to have the students accept
responsibility. I expect that
those women students who
will soon have 21 privileges
will use them judiciously." . .
The new policy established
at SUI may well indicate a
trend toward the gradual lib
eralization of policies and
regulations governing student
conduct.
Sue Mockridge, DeWitt
chairman of the orientation
meetings, said the adminis
tration has been very willing
to accept the proposals. :
Among the schools now hav
ing privileged hours are Colo
rado, Cornell, and Michigan
Universities, which have keys
for senior women.
The University of Minne
sota has no hours for 21-year
olds, while the University of
Wisconsin has privileged

and have been used with prop-

Second Drinking Poll
By Susan Smithberger
Senior Staff Writer
A second poll on student
drinking will be taken at the
place students pick up their
appointments cards in the city
and ag unions Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday, accord
ing to Mike Barton, Student
Council opinion poll chair -
man-
"The response to the first
poll was not what had
hoped, saia Barton, "it stu -
dents really feel that there is
a drinking problem on t h i s
vampua auu uiai uiey wvuiu
like the Council to act on it,
they should take advantage of
this second opportunity to ex
press their pinions." -
Only 384 forms out of t h e
1,500 that were distributed
were returned, according to
Barton.
The decision to hold a sec
ond poll was announced after
a long hassle in yesterday's
Council meeting over whether
the Council should drop the
issue.
A motion proposed by Dick
Weill, vice president, asked
that the committee estab
lished to study the drinking
problem be dissolved and the
issue dropped it was defeated.
Weill pointed out that the
University and the Council
were receiving bad publicity
through the state news me
dia as a result of the study
and that the poll did not re
veal a great number of stu
dents who wanted the Coun
cil to act
"We thought students
wanted the Student Council to
act," he said. "We found that
many felt the Council had
over-stepped its bounds. It's
human to err. We have the
right to step back and say
we erred."
Some of the Council mem
bers spoke in disagreement,
saying that they did not feel
the Council had erred. "I
don't like to say we erred,"
said Buzz Brashear. "An hon
est attempt is not an error. I
feel that this motion is imma
ture. We should clarify first !

Brewster cited three areas
in which he would concen
trate his efforts as president:
increasing the size of small
houses; urging new frater
nities to colonize at the Uni
versity; and building new
houses for present fraterni
ties. He pointed out that ex
pansion is a far reaching proj
ect involving a great deal of
study and foresight
This study must be carried
on through other universities
and national fraternities by
communicating with them on
the problems and procedures
of colonization.

such as Nebraska's, where
almost half of the students
live off campus. He proposed

Gov. Morrison Tells YD's
Politics Mot Ball Game'
Governor Frank B. Mom
son, speaking at a meeting of
the Young Democrats last
night, said that politics is not
a football game where you
choose up sides to see who
will win.
The real issue is not the
Democrats versus the Repub
licans but the problems that
confront us for solving, said
the Governor. Morrison also
said "Any candidate for pub
lic office that spends his time
berating personalities and
public offices is not only wast
ing his time but is insulting
the intelligence of mature cit
izens of the world."
Referring to a recent Gov
ernors' meeting Morrison said

Appointment Cards
Available Next Week
Appointment cards for second semester registration win
be available to students next week Monday through Wednes
day. Students on city campus will be able to pick up appoint
ment cards in the Student Union all three days from 8 a.m.
! to 5 p.m. Students on Ag campus will oe aoie to pic up
appointment cards at the Ag
The cards will be distributed on the basis of a half-hour
program. There will be 150 appointment cards for each half
hour of registration. The cards will be distributed one per
person on a first come, first serve basis.
Student Council representative Mary Morrow, said, "It
is very important that students pick up their appointment
cards because it is the only way they can pay their fees for
second semester."
Students who miss paying their fees during the required
period, Jan. 27-Feb. 1, will have to go through the complete
process of registration again. These students run the risk
of running into closed classes and ending up with a make
shift schedule.
The Student Council and its associates will handle all the
work of handing out the appointment cards.
that he was met at the air
port by people waving signs
proclaiming their allegiance
to a particular candidate.
"But," said the Governor, "I
saw no signs telling what they
would do to solve the prob
lems the governors were go
ing to discuss, nor did any of
these people come to the
meetings to bear the discus
sion."" The proposal that we with
draw from the United Nations
as suggested by one of the
presidential candidates "al
most makes me shudder" said
the Governor. "Imperfect as
it is, it is the only real forum
that we have to discuss the
world's problems."
He cited poverty, hunger,
disease and ignorance as the
major problems in the world
and went on to state that
about 99 per cent f the prob
lems are caused by lack of
communications. "P r a c -tice
the lessons of knowledge
and poverty disappears," said
Morrison.
He then read a column in an
African newspaper which
stated that the basic need fori
the Africans was the opportun
ity to raise their standards of ;
life and human dignity. The;
article said that the only
means to do this was by!
trade and industrial develop-!
ment. The Governor noted
that there was a similarity be
tween their needs and those
of Nebraskans.
He added that government
has brought rural electrifica
tion, reclamation programs,
increased agricultural produc
tivity and developed better!
breeds of livestock.
He again proclaimed that
merely to try to get someone
out of office and someone else
in is not a legitimate goal be
cause that problems of gov
ernment are still to be solved.

Retiring president Bill

for the help and cooperation
they had given him during a
successful year that Buckley
termed an "astounding ex
perience." He said that the
future goals of the IFC must
be to clarify, justify and im
